Let's try to predict the annoying bill titles the Republicans will use.
We can assume that the Boehnerhaus will bring back the Gingrich/Hastert tradition of using bill titles to make arrogant, hard-sell political statements in and of themselves(basically they were all variants of "The We're The Majority And We'll Never Let You Forget It Act"

Let's try to guess some of the ones they'll come up with this time:


I'll start the bidding with

"The God Is A White Heterosexual From Cincinnati Act"

"The Restoring Suburban Superiority Act"

"The Ours Doesn't Stink Act"

Add your predictions/suggestions/revulsions below:

3. Well,
The Bill for extending tax cuts will be called the "Tax The Rich" Bill

The Bill for handing over the rest of Health Care to the insurance companies will be called the "Healing America" bill.

The Bill for dismantling Social Security will be called the "Insuring a Healthy Retirement" bill

The Bill for increasing troops in Afghanistan will be called the "Ending the Endless War" bill

And the Bill for attacking Iran will be called the "Peace Initiative".

10. The "Enhanced Security Act"
that allows us to bomb any nation that looks at us suspiciously.

The "Medication Protection Act" that prevents the U.S. from negotiating med prices for Medicare, Medicaid or the VA.

The "American Enrichment Act" that cuts all taxes for the top 1% of earners forever.

The "Secure Social Security Act" that will secure SS for Wall Street investors.

The "Free Elections Act" that will make sure that future elections will NEVER be hampered by regulations on donations, and thus be free for the highest bidder.

The "Sedition Acts". Okay, I know we already had that one, but we need to bring it back.

The "Free Lunch Act" that will make it illegal for any state or municipality to regulate what children eat in school and make it mandatory to feature at least one fast food restaurant in every school across America.

The "Beautify America" Act that will allow billboards on every freeway, highway and bi-way in the United States and eliminate all local laws regulating billboards.

The "Freedom of Religious Heritage Act" that will allow all school boards and teachers to enforce Christian prays in every classroom in America with a mandatory Lord's Prayer at the beginning of each classroom hour.

Etc.

Peace,
Tex Shelters
